KARACHI: Director Kabir Khan has finally decided to move out of the camp after making three masterpieces under Yash Chopra’s production banner.

The proficient Director made his debut with Kabul Express and then gave cinema-goers the 2009 smash-hit New York. Now his Salman Khan - Katrina Kaif starrer ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ is due to release next month, as his final film under the Yash Raj banner.

According to rumors, Kabir Khan has now been signed by Sajid Nadiadwala for his latest project starring Hrithik Roshan as the protagonist.

"While there were rumours that Ekta Kapoor wants to sign Kabir for her next production, it is Sajid who has managed to sign him for his next. Hrithik who is already committed to Sajid for his next will be doing the film. However everything about the film will only be announced after Kabir's film with Salman and Katrina is released in Eid," a source claims.

"Earlier Hrithik was scheduled to do Sajid's film which was to be directed by Imtiaz Ali. However after Rockstar, Imtiaz has signed on Ranbir to do the film and that's why Hrithik will be doing Kabir's film. Kabir incidentally wanted Hrithik for his upcoming thriller however due to date issues, Kabir went to Salman who is now doing the film," the source later added.

When Nadiadwala was asked if rumours were true, he responded by saying, "it is too early to comment anything on the film."
